WHY IT WORKS
Watermelon and feta is already a perfect pair, sweet against salty. The mint makes it feel fresh. The Hot Honey is the thing that takes it from a nice side salad to a salad people ask you about. The slow heat plays against the sweet melon, and the salt ties it all together.
It is a side, a starter, a light lunch, or the thing you bring to the cookout that disappears first.
Make it this week, while the melon is good. You have earned an easy, beautiful dinner.
